You couldn't live with another station on your radio Because you heard so much meaning in 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' But every time you try to find yourself, you can't let go of the old you. Every night you wonder if I'm circumstance or planned Then run back to the comfort of a forum and the fans It's how they hold you It's how they hold you Everything we need to say Everything we need to say With everything we need to say When you come home, I run away It's the middle of the week, and I think we might overflow Because you're a television lover, we're a reality show But every time you try to push away, I can't let go It's how I hold you I run away

She said she was from New Orleans She said that she was running from a storm She said she did too much tonight, "But you have a face that keeps me warm, And it's the way you bring me down It's the way you bring me down From everything I've taken, from everything I found." I don't know how I lost you, how I found out, how you let this get away Because garden states didn't suit your golden shirt sleeves In December You said you just couldn't stay anymore And it's the way you bring me down It's the way you bring me down From everything I've given, from everything I found And maybe if I could find someone who kinda sorta looks like you, but doesn't drop me to the ground Saw you at the diner off our roadside, off our highway, off our town Your fickle party afterglow crashing in our booth, him draping all around And it's the way you bring me down It's the way you bring me down Like a turn-of-the-century zeppelin on a north New Jersey town And maybe if I could find someone who kinda sorta Maybe if I could find someone who kinda sorta Maybe if I could find someone who kinda sorta looks like you But doesn't drop me to the ground

Her dancing shoes were number nine She hums the song of namesakes keeping time But the night revolves too slowly With the ceiling stickers glowing like the stars She packs up all he left behind The record box from orange clementines Trading singles in her basement She thinks she hears The Replacements through the noise When the boys go away And all the girls alone again are trying to believe And all the girls come home again to cut their hair and grieve And all the girls in Bloomington wear flowers on their sleeve On their sleeve, on their sleeve She stares her long coat down the street The Lyndale friend her friend wants her to meet Her hat is wearing thin She's grey around the edges of her skin She thinks of heading in And all the girls alone again are trying to believe And all the girls come home again to cut their hair and grieve And all the girls in Bloomington wear flowers on their sleeve On their sleeve, on their sleeve And the teenagers mix cocktails as they're flirting with the thought Of what might happen if tomorrow never shines They take their time They take their time

You can drown me Because I can breathe underwater Tell the cousins and the daughters I'm alive, I'm alive I know you'll crush the way down When I emerge on solid ground So with both hands behind my back Just cut me open, heart attack And you can drown me Because I can breathe underwater Tell the cousins and the daughters I'm alive, I'm alive When they found me through the -- of it all I survive through the fall, through the fall I know you want me to be A perfect, perfect memory So take me down to Maiden Rock Can you hear Winona on the block? Drown me Because I can breathe underwater Tell the cousins and the daughters I'm alive, I'm alive When they found me through the --- of it all Like a late bloomer I survive through the fall, through the fall Crush me without element or purpose I'm a sleeper human B-side when I'm pressed beneath the surface

Escape City 04:33
Hello my beautiful we stand with temporary doorways, temporary hands You slip your finger through my ring tonight You know we planned, you know we planned Hello my beautiful we stand on crumbling bare sidewalks, histories and dreams We stumble in through the door tonight You know it seems just like yesterday Seems just like the day when we were new Seems just like yesterday, tomorrow was the best thing we could do Driving this temporary night, temporary morning, on temporary wheels Through our tunnels toward the beacon light You know it feels just like yesterday Feels just like the day when we were new Feels just like yesterday, tomorrow was the best thing we could do And you're looking just like, just like Just like I remember you

Poster at my bus stop signed in Japanese I'm staring blankly at you as the water soaks into my knees I remember when you still cared Where all the little things don't go unnoticed Take me there, oh take me there And why do I always seem to stay lost in translation with you Like Scarlett Johansson at the Birchwood Cafe I'm a local wearing visitor's shoes With you, with you, I'm a visitor too Tell me something that I can get behind Hold a light up to your lemonjuice paper, when I'm on the other side It's time again to trade our voice and listening It's when I know you're almost near You're glistening, you're glistening

You don't like to see what's caught inside your windows You don't like to see them, but you just might You don't like to see the flying little creatures But I like to see them, you hold to me in fright Ahh! ahh! I don't like to see what's stuck between the papers I don't like the darkness, or even that much the light I don't like to know the passwords or the neighbors But you like to know what happened in the news tonight, the news tonight But when you tell me there's a spider on my shoulder I only look you in the eye Oh where are you, oh where are you tonight?

Liquid Sleep 02:27
Hey we're drowning in liquid sleep, uh-oh Hey we're drowning in liquid sleep, uh-oh You're the caffeine high to my pregnant-pausing alibi And we're down with, down with, down with staying up all night You're the Ellen Page to my Postal Service rage And we're down with, down with, down with staying up all night And when they ask me how I spent the darkest time We counteract effects with cactus alcohol and lime I've got a sleep disorder, now I'm dreaming of you And we're looking back at the real world And we've got nothing, nothing, nothing to do You're the deja vu when I've got an antiquated point of view And we're down with, down with, down with staying up all night
